SAFETY-Pm PACKAGE.

Application filed December 17, 1923. Serial no. 681,084.

' T all whom it may concern:

Be .it known that I, GEORGE BonEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Vate'rbury, county of New Haven, and

State of Connecticut, have invented'certain new and useful .Improvementsin Safety-.

be readily removed therefrom, and be read- In the best Pin Packages,fully described and represented in the following specification and theaccompanying drawings,

forming a part of the same.

This invention relates to certaln improvments- .in packages fordisplaying and marketingisafety pins. v

it lis the especial) object of the present invention to provide animproved package for safety pins of attractive appearance, whichcan bereadily and cheaply put up with pins' of different sizes arranged insets, andif-from"which the purchaser can easily and quickly obtain a pinor a set of pins of the desired size, the pins being pa'ckagedso thataccidental removal from the package is prevented andso that a single pinmay be removed from aset without the removal of the other pins oftheset. -With this and other objects not spec1- fically referred to inview 'theinvention consists in certain novel parts, arrangements andcombinations which will be described in connection with the accompany--ing drawings and the novel features pointed out in theclaims hereuntoannexed.

In the drawings w Figure 1 is a 'face' orfront view of the package. 1

F'gure 2 is-an, edge view; and Figure 3 is a sectionalplan view taken online 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring now to these drawings, the improved package includes'a sup rt.For

ready assembly of the pins this support will be of some readilypierceable material Y pins may be hung or strung thereon throng as lightcardboard 1. Secured in this cardmount are a number of in en orts, thesepin supports being-of a size suc that safet their eye 2, and preferably.so as to have aswinging movement on the supports, so that if the cardis tipped the pins will swin'g out from the face of the support, thusadding a certain attractiveness to the packagewhich helps to sell it.These sup- -moving Thecard is pierced with slots 9 for eachports arearranged, as shown, one above the other, and each support iscapacitatedv to carry a set of pins of any desired num-- ber preferablyof the same size. While these -support-s may yary in character they willbe such as to permit a pin or pins to .pin .1n each set is supplied-thecustomer.

As shown, therefore, there are included in the package a number. ofsizes of pin supports, a large size 3, a medium size 4, and a small size5, the pin support 3 carrying a set of large pins 6, the supporting pin4 carrying. a set of medium pins 7, and

the small supporting pin 5 carrying a set of similar small pins 8. It isobvious of course that the number and sizesof the supporting pins andthepins carried thereby, aswell as their position in the cardmount may bevaried as desired. Furthermore, a singlepin may be removed withoutdisturbing the other pins in the set, or re the supporting pin from thecard.

supporting pin, these. slots being dimenv sioned 'to' receive the headand eye of the pin, as shown; In assembling'the package the supportinpin is opened, the pin end passed throng one ofv the slots, the pinsstrun'g thereon, and' the pin snapped mto the head, which projectingthrough the opposite slot permits this to be done.

With this construction a package is procan be quickly assembled, and:from which the customer may remove a set of pins, or single, pins, asmay be desired. While the invention has been shown in its'previded whichis neat in appearance, which ferred form, it is obvious that changes maybe made in the' support and in the arrangement of the pins thereonwithout departing from the invention ap nded claims.

' at I claim is:

1. A safetygin package including a flat support, spac slots in thesupport dimensioned to receive the head and eye of a as defined in thesafety pin, safety pins pinned in the supsupport, and safety pins hungfrom the port, and a number of safety pins hung supporting pins, eachsupporting pin and on the supporting pins. the pins supported therebybeing of a, simi- 10 2.
